I am working on an essay about how P.E.T.A. and many animal rights groups can harm sustainable practices. My examples will be how micro farms use animal manure and animal protein to support an integrated environment. Yesterday (while doing research) I stumbled on an article that I wanted to post now. What would I want to be able to share as my first post? A lawsuit. HSUS is being sued on RICO charges.

07/26/2012 "Tables turned on Humane Society" from the "San Bernardino Sun" written by Jim Matthews Posted: 07/26/2012 "The Humane Society of the United States, an organization that does next to nothing for animal shelters but sues, badgers and lobbies politicians and businesses into adopting its radical animals rights agenda, is getting a taste of its own medicine. In a little-reported ruling by a judge in the District of Columbia earlier this month, the HSUS is facing allegations under RICO statues on racketeering, obstruction of justice, malicious prosecution and other claims for a lawsuit it brought and lost against Ringling Brothers Circus' parent company Feld Entertainment, Inc."... full story at http://www.sbsun.com/sports/ci_21169780/tables-turned-humane-societythen there is this

Feld Entertainment's Federal Racketeering Case to Proceed Against ASPCA, HSUS and other Animal Rights Groups and their Lawyers

"In today's decision, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan recognized that Feld Entertainment had sufficient allegations to proceed with claims that the victims of the defendants' RICO violations were not only Feld Entertainment, but also members of the public who may have been improperly induced to make donations to the animal rights organizations based on the manufactured lawsuit."

A preview of my next post:How the Localvore movement and animal Rescues are butting heads.These are references that I plan to use for my next post. I will leave them here, so that you can see what HSUS and Peta have been supporting. This is from TheDogPlace - February 2010 article "2010 estimates for dogs imported exceed $40,000,000 " and these links Oct. 24, 2007 "300,000 Imported Puppies Prompt Rabies Concerns" and March 19, 2011 "It's Raining Dogs.....from Other Countries" show what can happen. The links that I have show that some states have done so well in their spay/neuter programs that there is an waiting list to adopt animals. People can be so desperate for an animals that they are willing to adopt (as pets, traditional livestock / feed) animals like guinea pigs, rabbits and rats. Research into microfarms and sustainable farming shows that these animals, have the potential of being a crucial part of the farm. By the propaganda that HSUS, PETA and some rescues have distributed, these people / farms would be classified as 'animal mills' . For those that want to eat a natural diet, feed a natural diet to their dogs or use the manure to help their plants, they define the keeping of these animals as livestock that helps their farm be sustainable.

I never stopped asking questions, of how the earth works. Having worked in the civilian, military, salaried, commission and self employed fields has allowed me to be a part of many different peer groups. I have realized that I like technical writing (large audiences) and this web site is an excuse to practice my grammar, while doing something that I like.
